Jaw pain and emotional symptoms study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mental health, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at the link between physical jaw pain and emotional or psychological symptoms (psychosomatic symptoms). If you have had jaw or face pain for at least 6 months, this may help researchers understand how your feelings affect your pain.
